There are always plenty of bass classes and vocal percussion classes to choose from at festivals, but we have never seen a workshop that combines the two into a guide for how to lock in your rhythm section.

m-pact bassist Tracy Robertson and drummer Jeff Smith did exactly this at their "Get Into The Groove" class at the 2017 National A Cappella Convention in Memphis, TN.
